About the imitation, I was more or less poking some good-natured fun at Cal-Tech, not actually calling them out. However, the Rose Bowl stuff in particular is derivative of the tradition of MIT hacks at the Harvard-Yale games that has been going on since at least 1948.
- TriinT 17y agoYeah, I have heard of the Harvard-Yale game hacks. I have also heard of the tradition of putting stuff on top of the great dome. I like this Star Wars hack: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/1999/r2d2.html http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/1999/r2d2.html Nonetheless, the coolest hack MIT has ever pulled off was to steal the Fleming Cannon from Caltech in 2006, imho.
